This week Cathy Masters and I traveled to Austin, Texas and attended the ASUG SAP Business One Summit, along with Greg Robinson and Kevin Smith of Enprise America.

This annual ASUG event is a great opportunity to catch up with Enprise’s North American reseller partners along with their customers and prospects.

This year, Cathy and Kevin demonstrated the latest versions of Enprise Job and Enprise Anywhere to our partners and their prospects.

During one of the breakout sessions, Ron Mondor of Zantek IT and Moty Moshin of coresystems demonstrated a fully integrated mobile job costing solution, comprising coresuite time, Enprise Job and SAP Business One.

Enprise adds North American presence

August 19, 2015

PilotSolutions1

Enprise Software has recently partnered with USA-based Pilot Solutions to be “Enprise North America”, offering local sales, technical and implementation support to North American Enprise channel partners.

The United States and Canada are very important, strategic markets for Enprise. Our new North American office offers local support in North American time zones. It gives our network of American and Canadian partners access to specialist resources that extend their own teams when dealing with Enprise add-ons. These include pre-sales engagements, marketing and lead development as well as implementation and consulting services.

In addition to our new local presence, we have some great new products, like “Enprise Anywhere” and “Enprise Job for SAP HANA” which we think will drive more sales for the North American channel.

Greg Robinson and Kevin Smith of Pilot Solutions (pictured above in Miami, Florida) have been friends of mine and the Enprise team for many years. They have an exceptionally good level of knowledge and experience around Enprise products and the SAP Business One channel.

I’m extremely glad to have Greg, Kevin and the Pilot team working in North America, as part of the Enprise team.

“Enprise Anywhere” hits North America

June 7, 2015

Cathy Masters demonstrates Enprise Anywhere top an SAP Business One partner

Enprise Software’s newest product, “Enprise Anywhere” has been well received by the North American SAP Business One channel, with several large orders received within days of the product’s release.

Enprise Anywhere is a mobile extension of our popular “Enprise Job” solution and allows mobile workers to look up and update job information from out in the field, using a tablet or smart phone.

Last week, Enprise Software GM Cathy Masters and I met with our North American partners at the SAP Business One Innovation Summit in Miami. Everyone there was upbeat about the many exciting new product innovations from SAP and from solution partners like Enprise.

Of particular interest was SAP’s demonstration of the new HTML5 version of SAP Business One, which looks just like the Windows version, has similar capabilities and runs in a web browser. This will be an ideal companion to Enprise Anywhere, where the emphasis of the Business One suite is moving towards the browser.

Enprise’s rapid growth in 2015 starts now

February 10, 2015

This week Enprise has announced a three-part initiative to kick this year off to a strong start. With an acquisition, a brand new Cloud ERP and a share purchase plan, we’re putting new products, improved customer service and business expansion firmly on the 2015 agenda.

GlobalBizpro_logo

Firstly; Enprise has acquired the MYOB practice of GlobalBizpro, formerly our primary competitor in the New Zealand MYOB EXO market and formerly the second largest New Zealand based MYOB EXO reseller, after us. This acquisition adds a further 142 MYOB EXO customers to our New Zealand client base and around $1.6M to our top-line revenue, including around $762K of contracted recurring revenue per annum.

We welcome the GlobalBizpro team members into our team, giving us a larger pool of qualified and experienced ERP professionals to give “Gold Standard” service and support to our ever-expanding customer base.

Secondly; our increased scale as an MYOB Enterprise partner (the largest in New Zealand and the only MYOB Enterprise partner with branches on both sides of the Tasman), places us well to be the leading sales partner for the newly announced “MYOB Advanced” Cloud ERP platform.

The Cloud is a major driver of business IT innovation and investment. MYOB Advanced has everything going for it to become the dominant mid-market Cloud ERP for New Zealand and Australia – because it is a brand new (yet well proven in America) Cloud ERP, using the latest technology, from Australasia’s largest and leading business software vendor.

I see this as a very exciting and significant new offering and addition to our business in both New Zealand and Australia.

Thirdly; we are launching a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) offering all Enprise Group shareholders as at 20th February 2015 the opportunity to buy up to 30,000 ENS shares at 50 cents each.

This offer enables shareholders to participate further in Enprise Group’s growth and value creation strategies. It also strengthens our balance sheet and increases our cash reserves to fund ongoing expansion activities, including investment in MYOB Advanced Cloud ERP capabilities as well as the GlobalBizpro and other acquisitions.

All four of the company’s directors, including myself, will be buying shares in the SPP, either directly or indirectly.

New products, improved customer service and business expansion are firmly on our 2015 agenda. This is where it starts.

Enprise acquires MYOB partner, GlobalBizpro

February 9, 2015

GlobalBizpro_logo

Today Enprise Group announced its acquisition of the MYOB practice of New Zealand software services company, Global Bizpro Ltd. The deal brings together two top MYOB Enterprise partners to form a combined business with around 850 mid-market business customers and by far the largest team of qualified MYOB consultants in New Zealand, with branches in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Sydney and Melbourne.

From a customer perspective the deal continues our strategy to grow our business by striving to deliver the very best customer service and support for MYOB EXO customers across Australia and New Zealand – “The Gold Standard in MYOB EXO service”. The Global Bizpro acquisition adds scale and further depth of expertise to the Enprise team and improves our ability to give exceptionally good service and support to our customers.

The additional scale and resources are also important as we ramp up to support MYOB’s powerful new mid-market Cloud ERP software “MYOB Advanced”. I predict that MYOB Advanced will take the New Zealand and Australian ERP market by storm this year.

MYOB EXO is the leading business software solution used by mid-sized companies and organizations across New Zealand and Australia. MYOB EXO is a client server, on-premise solution which is still the preference of many businesses.

Other businesses are looking for a Cloud solution. MYOB Advanced is a very powerful and sophisticated Cloud offering. It leapfrogs existing Cloud competitors and we already have a number of new customers who are ready to go with MYOB Advanced.

Accordingly we have invested considerably in upskilling to provide the same levels of support for MYOB Advanced as we do for MYOB EXO. We see a strong future for both MYOB products.

“MYOB Advanced” – new Cloud ERP for mid-sized businesses

January 29, 2015

ADVANCED-LAUNCH-BANNER-300x250-NZ

There was exciting news this week as MYOB officially released MYOB Advanced, a new Cloud-based ERP & business management platform for mid-sized New Zealand and Australian businesses.

While newly released in New Zealand and Australia, MYOB Advanced is based on the American Cloud ERP called Acumatica, which MYOB invested $13.3M into last year. Acumatica is a powerful and successful Cloud ERP, proven in the American market, whereas MYOB Advanced is optimised for the New Zealand and Australian market.

Over the last year, Enprise has invested in evaluating, understanding and getting staff formally trained in MYOB Advanced.

We see this as a powerful and complementary addition to the MYOB EXO product range, giving Enprise customers the choice of either an on-premise ERP solution with MYOB EXO or a Cloud solution with MYOB Advanced. Hosted MYOB EXO is another popular option.

At this early stage Enprise has already sold MYOB Advanced to one customer and we have a number of other prospective customers in the process of signing up.

Watch this space, I think this product is a winner!

Enprise listing is NZAX finale

December 4, 2014

Enprise NZAX launch

Enprise Group has the historical honour of being the last company to be listed on the NZAX board. I was only advised of this on Monday by NZX staff during our listing celebration. Apparently the NZX is not accepting any more applications for the NZAX and will instead be encouraging companies to either list on the new NXT board or the Main Board, as appropriate.

The NZX states on its web site that it “intends to continue to support companies that are listed on the NZAX market for the foreseeable future”. Enprise Group will most likely shift to the NXT market some time over the next two years.

The picture above was taken at our listing celebration on Monday and includes (from L to R) Jens Neiser (Enprise director), me, Elliot Cooper (Enprise CFO & director), Sean Joyce (our NZX sponsor) and Aaron Jenkins (NZX Head of Markets). Photo by Bruce Jarvis.
